ISCA's Products Deter Pests from Healthy Crops and Plants
Pest control company ISCA has invested a significant amount of research into the use of pheromones for mating interruption, and the result is the company's line of proven solutions focused on controlling insect populations. The SPLAT GRAFO, SPLAT OFM, and GRAFO BONA are designed to interrupt the encounters between male and female insects of the Grafolita (oriental moth) and the Bonagota, a leafroller caterpillar.
These products create synthetic pheromone trails toward the wind, atteacting male moths and caterpillars to entice them to approach the synthetic pheormone and not the females, leading to reduced insect population over time.
Notably, SPLAT GRAFO uses reduced water content, eliminates crop damage from insects, and protects the tree's fruit from contamination.
